Story: Thinking of ditching IE? Think again

""In addition, a considerable number of Web sites don't function properly if you're not using IE to access them."
Actually, that is true for fewer and fewer web sites. Non-IE browsers are now over 10% of the market. Firefox has a program where they notify IE-only web sites, explain to them they are losing viewers, and help them become web standards compliant. My guess is that in a couple of years this problem will have vanished entirely.
In the meantime, you can have IE and another browser on your machine, and use IE only when needed.
